Obscure Mania

I’ve been using Jott.com for over a week and it is SO COOL! If I’m listening to something on the radio while I’m driving, I speed dial Jott and jott “self” and speak whatever I want to remember for later, even set a reminder. I’ve got my Jott setup with my Google Calendar so if I want something on my calendar, I jott “calendar” and the event is set in my Google calendar.

I can also Jott a blog post. Haven’t tried that yet, but I have sent a Jott to Twitter. When Jott sends something to Twitter, it also has a link to the actual voice recording if you want to listen to the actual voice message. If you’re using almost any other online reminder system Jott will interface with it.

I also have my office as a contact so all I have to do is Jott an email contact and speak my email. Good for checking in my location if I don’t need (or want) to talk to the office. If I remember something I need the next shopping trip I make, I jott my Shopping list and whatever I say goes on a seperate list. I also have a ToDo list I can Jott to. Pretty cool.

Who comes up with these names? Found some really cool services for your cellphone.

Jott

Jott is great for making notes and reminders to yourself and even notes to your friends and family. Go to Jott.com, register yourself and your cell phone. When you have that brilliant idea, you call Jott’s toll free number (866) JOTT-123 / (866) 568-8123, tell Jott who the note is for, then speak clearly. You have to speak clearly because a few minutes later, your note will be transcribed and will be listed in your Jott inbox. You can set reminders on your while your leaving your note or after wards from your Jott inbox. Your Jott is also sent to your regular email inbox or if you friend or family’s email.

You can download a crackberry app that integrates with Jott and there are other services to add feeds for news and blogs you can listen to. I’m still playing around with it, seems really cool, especially when I’m driving and I have a great idea or remember to do something I forgot that I need to do when I stop driving or when I get home.

CHACHA
